Yeah, and the Asian Cup is also held in January this year. It's ridiculous... all international tournaments should be held between june and august; and if they aren't then clubs shouldn't be forced to let their players go.


Pretty sure the ACON was the main reason Wenger didn't go for Aurier this summer, such a shame this has to happen.

But don't they hold them in different times of the year because of climate conditions?

No. Even when they host it in southern hemisphere countries (where it's winter during our summer), they still hold the event in january.

This year Australia is hosting the Asian Cup in january, which is their summer.

And in most northern african and middle eastern countries, games are perfectly playable in june as long as they are played at night time.

Wasn't a fix, just a terible sporting manner.
